Where is it?

The memorial will be held at the Staples Center, where Bryant played for the Los Angeles Lakers and where his fans gathered to comfort each another after his death, building a makeshift monument out of flowers, letters, basketballs and jerseys.

Hours after the Bryant memorial, the Staples Center will host a scheduled NBA game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Memphis Grizzlies.
